From: Souptick Joarder <jrdr.linux@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: add prototype for __add_to_page_cache_locked()

Otherwise it causes a gcc warning:

../mm/filemap.c:830:14: warning: no previous prototype for
`__add_to_page_cache_locked' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

A previous attempt to make this function static led to compilation errors
when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled because __add_to_page_cache_locked()
is referred to by BPF code.

Adding a prototype will silence the warning.
